Last week at this time we were in Decatur spending our last moments with my wife's grandfather. His name: Charles Case. He passed away at around 2:00 AM, last Friday morning.Here are some photos of Charles throughout his life.

They are repairing the clocktower at Union Station. It looks like a massive undertaking. Here are some shots of the work. I did not have a lot of time to take photographs in St. Louis since I was ready to get back home. But here is a couple in case you are interested.
